Today’s Book Club Monday Choice is Park Ave Summer by Renee Rosen. I knew I had to read it when the description said where Mad Men meets The Devil Wears Prada. Here is the story:
New York City is filled with opportunities for single girls like Alice Weiss, who leaves her small Midwestern town to chase her big-city dreams and unexpectedly lands a job working for the first female editor in chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, Helen Gurley Brown.
For Alice, who wants to be a photographer, it seems like the perfect foot in the door, but nothing could have prepared her for the world she enters. Editors and writers resign on the spot, refusing to work for the woman who wrote the scandalous bestseller Sex and the Single Girl, and confidential memos, article ideas, and cover designs keep finding their way into the wrong hands. When someone tries to pull Alice into a scheme to sabotage her boss, she is more determined than ever to help Helen succeed.
While pressure mounts at the magazine, Alice struggles not to lose sight of her own dreams as she’s swept up into a glamorous world of five-star dinners, lavish parties, and men who are certainly no good. Because if Helen Gurley Brown has taught her anything, it’s that a woman can demand to have it all. – Amazon.com

Getting this on in under the wire but I really wanted to show it to you before the holiday weekend was over…..I have a feeling this one is not going to last…You have to see the incredible grounds in this listing on Old Church Rd, in Greenwich Ct. It is really breathtaking. The inside is pretty cool too…I love the old world charm of the interiors but, sigh, I just keep dreaming about the gardens and the pool!!! For more information on this beautiful home, or to see all the photos, contact Julie Burke, HERE.

The weeks are flying. I feel like I just did a book club Monday post!!!!! A couple of weeks ago, I was in Diane’s Books in Greenwich, Ct. If you have not been, you have to go..its amazing…they have everything, book reviews, employee recommendations, best seller summaries and so much more. As I was buying a book for my mom, I saw Finding Mrs. Ford by Deborah Royce out of the corner of my eye. It came highly recommended from the ladies of Diane’s. I just started it…here is the story:
